Dog-Friendly San Diego Home - 1 Mi to Ocean Beach

Reviews

• 5 stars

  5/5

  We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could’ve needed—even little extras like sunblock and bathroom air freshener. The home was very comfortable, and we especially appreciated the cozy beds and having TVs in both bedrooms.

  The balcony and outdoor seating areas were great for relaxing, and the views from the upstairs bedrooms gave us a nice look at the neighborhood and even the beach. The location was perfect—quiet, peaceful, and close to the beach and eating establishments of OB. We also had no trouble finding parking for our second car, which was a huge plus.

  The host was fantastic, responding quickly to all of our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. We’d absolutely stay here again!

  4/5

  The guesthouse was great for us and our two small dogs. The backyard is fully fenced, so we didn’t have to worry about them being out there on their own for a few moments.

  The host was warm, approachable, and very helpful.

  While the listing mentioned a carport for parking, we ended up parking in the alley. It wasn’t an issue— just have to back up going in or out of the alley if you’re unable to turn around.

  The listing also mentioned the potential noise from planes due to the proximity to the airport. We didn’t see much detail on it, but if you're staying here, be prepared to hear planes flying overhead. It wasn't a huge problem for us since we were out all day, and when we were home in the evenings, closing the windows helped a lot. If you're planning to relax on the balcony, earplugs or music through earbuds/earphones might be a good idea.

  We didn’t use the home much outside of sleeping and showering, but the kitchen was fully stocked, and there was both a Keurig and a regular coffee pot. The bathroom also had extra amenities, which was a nice touch. The closets were spacious, they were hangers in both closets. Each room had extra blankets and pillows, etc.

  The overall decor had a nice beach vibe and the home was clean.

  The only reasons I didn’t give this a five-star review were the king-sized bed, which was uncomfortable for my husband, and the mini-split AC, which blew on us all evening. You can adjust it to “swing” so it doesn’t blow consistently on you, but it still wasn’t ideal.

  Overall, though, it was a lovely guesthouse, and we had a good stay.

  Incredibly relaxing place for a family of four. Nice distant ocean views from the balcony, an easy walk to OB stores and the beach, and a nice outdoor space for relaxing. High-end appliances and comfortable furniture/beds. We will return!

• Perfect Home Base for a Family Wedding Weekend

  5/5

  Rick’s place was close to both our home and the wedding venue, making it the perfect spot for overflow family (much nicer to sleep on a bed in your own room, than draw straws for the couch). Rick communicated regularly, checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly. Comfortable, cozy space, amazing views, perfect location. Couldn’t ask for a better place!

  5/5

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at this vacation rental, and I can't sing its praises enough! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch.

  First and foremost, the owner's attention to detail and hospitality were unmatched. Immediately after booking, he reached out to introduce himself and provided detailed check-in instructions along with a treasure trove of recommendations for local dining and activities. It was evident that he genuinely cared about ensuring guests had a fantastic stay.

  Upon entering the unit, I was struck by the warm and inviting decor. Every corner exuded comfort, making it feel like a true home away from home. And talk about convenience! This place was stocked with everything imaginable, from fully equipped kitchen essentials to spare toiletries like razors and toothbrushes. They truly had thought of everything.

  During our stay, we encountered a minor hiccup with the door lock, but the owners were quick to respond and resolve the issue. Their prompt assistance underscored their dedication to guest satisfaction.

  The cherry on top? The breathtaking ocean view and unbeatable location. With so many wonderful attractions just a stone's throw away, we were spoiled for choice when it came to exploring the area.

  And let's not forget about the beds – oh, the beds! Each night felt like sinking into a cloud thanks to the incredibly comfortable mattresses, sheets, and comforters.

  In conclusion, I can't wait to return to this slice of paradise. The combination of an amazing property and exceptional owners truly sets this vacation rental apart. They're absolute professionals in the industry, leaving no detail overlooked. If you're searching for a memorable getaway, look no further – you've found it here.
